Lil bit of this, lil bit of that [Engineering Build 0.2.6ap]

[Edit] Link replaced with hotfix 0.2.6.1ap to fix broken bathtime hairstyle, also adds 2 "peace sign" hand positions just for the sake of it

[Edit 2] Link replaced with hotfix 0.2.6.2ap to fix issues with materials after leaving the FBX addon menu and something else which I've already forgotten.

Alright boys I'm uploading this build from an actual computer so I'll expend the effort to do a changelog this time here we go (new stuff from previous update also rolled in):

[Changelog]

Mechanics:

+ New UI element: camera angle switcher, added to pause menu (top left)
+ New camera angle "female POV" added. I realize that this is a niche thing that possibly only one person wants to see, so it's only available via the camera angle switcher dropdown (cycling through with [ and ] keys will skip over it so you don't get a dick in your face unexpectedly). Scroll wheel controls look angle.
+ Tongue re-added. Took a while to settle on an appropriate level of "physicality" for the tongue to balance realism and not fucking up and clipping through everything. Expect gradual improvements and more options in future updates.
+ Handjob redone. Hands now have physical animation to give realistic collision and finger movements. Expect glitches because this is a lot of little physics colliders flying around now but I think it looks pretty dope. Manual control with shift plus a whole bunch of customization for the motion.
+ Dick hardness setting with < and >. Currently experimental, doesn't really cause too many issues with the mouth but combining this with the handjob gives some wild results.

Visuals:

+ Small tweaks to HD-chan's geo

Customization:

- "Overall size" customization temporarily disabled. This fucks with the new physics for the hands. I plan to add more customization options for HD-chan's proportions soon.
+ A few "decal" options: eyeshadow, eyepaint, kuruminha. These options will be expanded in future, this initial update is just to implement the texture composition function necessary to use an arbitrary amount of decals in a performant way. I'd like to support importing textures to use as decals too.
+ Kemomimi! Cat ears and bunny ears with pleasing bouncy physics!
+ Kemomimi color customization
+ Added accessory category: headgear
+ Added one headgear: "ropebell". I don't know what this thing is called I just saw it in a picture and liked it.
+ Tongue color customization

Misc:

+ Optimized logic and animation for HD-chan
+ Reworked how camera angles are defined in-editor, more flexible and will making adding more angles faster in future
+ Reworking how accessories (the default ones, like glasses and horns and stuff) are handled, making them easier to implement in future, and more compatible with future planned UI changes. This is ongoing and as such the new ropebell and kemomimi don't get saved in presets right now.

Roadmap

"What's next?" I hear you squawk.

• To the greatest extent possible I would like to replace customization functionality currently implemented using shape keys with skeletal controls
• The UI needs an overall reworking. I plan to implement a script that builds the in-game menu programmatically rather than me having to manually add sliders and dropdowns for everything all the time. This should also make it a lot easier to make sweeping changes to the look of things. If there's a game with a character customization UI that you really like, please let me know. I'm looking for inspiration.
• As mentioned above in the "overall size" bit, I'm planning to add some more customization for HD-chan's proportions. As part of this I'm delving back into UE4's "control rig" system, and trying to come up with a robust system for adding more poses in future, with as little "custom behavior" required as possible.
• I've started work on a modular hair system to hopefully allow a lot more customization without necessarily having to delve all the way into full-on FBX importing.
• I just remembered the game still doesn't have tanlines. That's going in next build.

In other news, I'm planning to version-up the freely available build on Itch. I'm not 100% sure what version it'll go to, possibly the last one before the new cum? Obviously I want to make sure that you guys are getting a decent value for your support of me on Patreon, but the free version is now so old that it doesn't really represent the level of quality the game is at.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you as always for your continuing support and kind words. I hope sincerely that you are enjoying the game and am looking forward as ever to see what I can come up with next.

Cheers, Hyper
